Duality in bromodomain-containing protein complexes.
Proteins that contain a motif called a bromodomain are implicated in both transcriptional activation and repression. The bromodomain of p/CAF, the only solution structure of a bromodomain that has been solved to date, reveals that the motif binds N-acetyl-lysine groups, presumably to anchor enzymatic functions to histones and by extension to chromatin. The enzymatic activities can either be enc...
متن کاملBile acids and gene regulation: from nuclear receptors to chromatin.
Transcription regulation by bile acids is far more complicated than it appeared at first when several groups began their investigations in the early '90. It has become clear now that bile acids regulate the transcription of genes involved in bile acid synthesis, transport and other metabolic pathways via multiple mechanisms that involve transcription factors, nuclear receptors, coregulators, ch...
متن کاملAcetyllysine-binding and function of bromodomain-containing proteins in chromatin.
Acetylated histones are generally associated with active chromatin. The bromodomain has recently been identified as a protein module capable of binding to acetylated lysine residues, and hence is able to mediate the recruitment of factors to acetylated chromatin. Functional studies of bromodomain-containing proteins indicate how this domain contributes to the activity of a number of nuclear fac...
متن کاملChromatin dynamics and DNA repair.
Packing of the eukaryotic genome into chromatin poses an accessibility problem for the DNA repair machinery. Chromatin structure has to be changed for the repair to occur, and we are beginning to discover how different chromatin modifying mechanisms facilitate DNA repair in the chromatin context. On the other hand, the repair-related changes in chromatin should be transient, and a particular ch...
متن کاملThe link between chromatin structure, protein acetylation and cellular differentiation.
Chromatin remodeling and protein acetylation control gene expression and consequently regulate cellular growth and differentiation. Here we review the role of individual chromatin remodeling factors, acetyltransferases and deacetylases in the establishment and maintenance of different cell lineages and in the genesis of some human diseases.
